Customer Reviews Ryka Grafik 2

This was my first time ever wearing dance specific shoes. I was delightfully surprised as to how comfortable they were and I loved how lightweight they felt. I had first tried them out on a treadmill and really love the shock absorption and the lightness of them. Felt great on my knees. Using them for basic weightlifting and HIIT was also great! I also tested them out on an actual Zumba class and they were fantastic. They don't stick to the flooring which allows you to slip and slide around with ease. Not the best for traction but that is not what they are indented for. I only wish they were a little more versatile so you could convert them for different activities.

I'm sold on Ryka shoes. This is a very comfortable walking/jogging shoe. Runs slightly small; I normally wear an 8 and 1/2 but found the 9 most comfortable -- fits perfectly.

I am a Zumba fanatic, dancing about 5 times per week. I previously had a pair of dance shoes, which wore out quickly. Talking with my Zumba instructor about various shoes/sneakers available she pointed to her feet and said "I just bought these and I LOVE them!" After class, I immediately went on line to my favorite place, Zappos, and found the Ryka Grafik 2. I liked the color Iron grey/frost grey and the price was spot on for my budget. I got them in my normal size "7". When they arrived, yesterday afternoon, I took them out, put them on and walked around the house doing various chores. They felt great and I was SO excited to wear them to class this morning. The classes are 55 minutes long, with a whole lot of moving and sweating. Let me tell you, I had "happy feet"! With my old dance shoes my feet were tired and hot after class but with the Ryka Grafik 2 I could have danced another 55 minutes that's how comfortable they are and no hot tired feet! I have already started recommending them to the other ladies in the class and seemed to have sparked a lot of interest!

I ordered this in the same size as my current Ryka (purchased last January), and I think it runs small. The toe box feels narrow and my toes crunched at the end. Not unusual ... I have worn between an 8.5 - 9.5 depending on the Ryka design. I forgot to order multiple sizes with my order to ensure I got the right size. Love Ryka for Jazzercise, though. The spin dot on the bottom is important for dance steps that require a smooth turn without sticking to the floor!

This is my second pair. I usually wear 7.5-8, I ordered them in an 8 and they fit perfect. I work in a hospital on my feet all day and they are supportive and comfortable all day long. They also light weight. I hope Ryka keeps this style going!

I usually hit the gym 4 times a week and do an hour of either zumba or body pump each time. To add to that, I also have a love of high heels (thanks zappo's), so my feet are probably neglected sometimes. I recently started to get extensor tendonitis in my right foot and after doing some reading, found that both heels and frequent workouts w/ poor fitting sneakers are usually the culprit. I promptly started searching zappo's for better sneakers and am SO glad I found this brand! I feel like they were made for me! Arrived in 2 days and right out of the box, were incredibly comfy. I walked around the house in them for about an hour and it felt like I was walking on clouds. Very supportive and springy. Lots of room in the front of the foot which I think will really help the tendonitis. I'm excited to try them out at the gym tomorrow! I think Ryka has a customer for life! Thanks!

Ryka is my favorite brand sneakers. They are true to size, They don't lose their shape. They last forever. The colors are great. I have purchased 5 pairs over the past few years. I hope they never discontinue this line.

I bought these shoes for cross training and I love the support they offer. It’s the 2nd pair of Rykas I’ve purchased and I buy a 1/2 size up because they tend to run just a little small. Love the color and style.

Toe box not roomy enough.
